Is Andruw Jones a Hall of Famer?

[Zmaster52]

Before you sneer and think "Oh no way!" look at his numbers:

He's had a 7 WAR five times, and 5 WAR nine times. He could be considered borderline to most because of his regression once he went to LA. He will go down in history as one of the greatest center fielders of all time though, Hall of Famer or not.

[Il Mago50]

It honestly all depends on the person I think since he's got 10 GG's, 430 HRs and 1200 RBI but he barely hit .250 for his career.

Personally, I don't think he is because there needs to be a cutoff at some point since there are so many productive major leaguers who shouldn't be enshrined just because they put up decent numbers. For me, I don't think he belongs in the HOF.

Yes. (homer shades)

Your pic is one of the coolest I've seen on here.

[LAcowBOMBER]

I say yes. He played great defense, was on good teams, and had good numbers

[samanjerry]

we are looking for great.

I say no, great defense, but was rarely the offense number one on the teams. didnt carry the team too often

Im goin with maybe and this was a thread like a month ago.

[Greedy22]

I'm on my phone so I can't do any in-depth research, but the dude has a career .352 wOBA and was an excellent and from 1998-2006 he was a borderline excellent hitter based on that with a .365 wOBA. BA isn't going to tell you the whole story, it's a very empty stat.

[abe_froman]

he's boarderline ,but i'll say yeah

[MickeyMgl]

Only on PSD could this be asked as a serious question.

Sorry dude. It's a fine question.

He's borderline on the numbers, in on the "10 year peak thing", but when they took the juice away from him he died. A total of 1.1 rWAR his last 5 years starting at age 31? That's crap and it throws red flags all over the place.

If he was in this years class I wouldn't even think about him twice this year - no. In a weak year, maybe.

i didn't know he did steroids? could you provide a link?

who cares if he became a 4th OF at 31, it shouldn't hold any barring, if thats the case then lets take out Jimmy Foxx and Sandy Koufax

Koufax was on all kinds of drugs, and he simply retired. He didn't decline, he quit.


It's a red flag, but it also doesn't mean he in fact did do anything.

he may have been smoking the reefer, but i believe his elbow blew out and he needed tommy john, but Dr. Frank Jobe was being a lazy *** and didn't invent it for another 10 years,but i don't remember exactly.

[waveycrockett]

yep
